The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage and extend the film?s impact. We amplify public discourse on a series of environmental, social and economic concerns and facilitate the growing Story of Stuff community?s involvement in strategic efforts to build a more sustainable and just world. Our on-line community includes over 150,000 activists and we partner with hundreds of environmental and social justice organizations worldwide to create and distribute our films, curricula and other content. The Story of Stuff Project is fiscally sponsored by the Tides Center. We are supported by grants from both private and public foundations, contributions from viewers, and earned revenue from speaking appearances and DVD and book sales. |
